There are no flowers
To lay on your grave
There are no words
To ease this grief

There are no hymns
To sing good-bye
Within my heart
A broken poem

Within my mind
Memories of you
My brother, these
Tears I cry for you

author's note:  For my brother whom was battling Cancer
never gone just transformed....My heart has been heavy

Thank you for reading....

  11. I fervently hope that somewhere, somehow, your brother knows he is still with you, because it's clear from this poignant and beautiful poem that with you, he is. I have a similar grief, and your oh-so-accessible poem brought me to tears. Namaste.
